Reason Behind Sunspot Observatory Closure According to Court Documents

A federal search warrant reveals that Sunspot Solar Observatory was shut down as FBI agents conducted computer forensic searches for child pornography.

The source of child pornography was traced to an IP address used at the observatory and a source within the building observed a computer with "not good" images on it, the warrant states.

An investigation by the FBI revealed that a janitor is the main suspect in the search, however he has not been charged with a crime even though his name is on the warrant.

The warrant states the suspect would use the observatory Wifi and a personal laptop to download the child pornography.

A limited number of people have access to the observatory from dusk until dawn, which helped narrow their search.

The observatory in the mountains of southern New Mexico had been closed since Sept. 6 because of an undisclosed security concern, but reopened on Monday.

Reason Behind Sunspot Observatory Closure According to Psychics

Channeled Adronis: There are increasing anomalies taking place upon your sun right now; sun spots, magnetic fluctuation and openings. If these particular observatory labs were not closed down, you would have evidence how spacecrafts can come out of the sun at specific opening points. Scientist don’t understand it, that’s why the observatory closure, and amateours footages are ceased.

[...] Psychic Focus has a bit different story; The Observatory serves for the busy UFO activity in the area, but also for a bigger operation under ground. Large study of ETs going on. There was a breach in security that allowed a Grey to escape and “call” a fellow ship to get him. People were evacuated in fear of a retaliation, until they can be sure they are safe and secure

[...] Hucolo Jim another kind; There are species that are causing some anomalies in the way that is not healthy to the earth, so that is why the observatory was closed, the whole city was affected. I can not give you specifics, but I can tell this, there are also ETs that try to stop the ascension process

    I'd curious what the point of that was too. Unless the idea is to question whether we think the official story is to cover up something else (aliens, espionage, skunkworks test flights, whatever floats your boat) and there's a disinformation campaign going on to lump anyone who comes up with something close to reality in with a bunch of psychic nutjobs? Might have been a good idea to actually include some of those conspiracy theories in that case though, rather than something that I suspect most Soylentils will either instantly dismiss as a crock or start poking fun at.

    Or maybe the Men in Black / Lizard People have got to martyb and he's now part of the cover up... Trust no one!

    The "official" story doesnt make much more sense than the crazy conspiracies at this point. Also, these were originally two seperate submissions.

      Yeah, I got the multiple submissions line, but the comment was more about why include the psychic angle in the first place? Sure, the crackpot theories make about as much sense as the official line and I'm definitely of the view that there's more going on here, but there are also some quite credible alternative theories that could have been used if that was the intent. Supposedly, a member of staff saw some "not good" child porn images, and according to reports this prompts:

      The use of a Blackhawk helicopter - albeit unclear if this was to get the FBI to site, or just overwatch by local military
      The Observatory's closure for 12 days
      The closure of the local post office
      Most (all?) staff being sent home for the duration
      Local law enforcement not having a clue what was going on
      Agents climbing on the radio mast
      Still no arrest of the named suspect
      Others?

      Logically that leaves two options, either it's an incredibly robust response and thorough investigation by the FBI that somehow still hasn't managed to produce enough evidence to indict yet (where have I heard that before?), or they're deliberately trying to post bizarre alternative theories to help cast doubt on anyone who comes up with something approximating the actual story. YMMV as to what that might be, of course, or even whether the whole thing is a false flag to distract conspiracy nuts from something else entirely.

        The wild speculations of the psychics are funny, its literally the lowest quality type of evidence there is. So whats going on when the official explanation makes just as much sense?

    I am related (by marriage) to several conspiracy theorists and they will be all over this.

    I will find out what's really going on and then let you all know.
